Proclaim ye His glory abroad;
O praise Him, ye servants appointed
To stand in the house of our God.
2 O praise ye the Lord for His goodness;
'Tis pleasant His praises to sing;
His people, His chosen and precious,
Your praises with gratitude bring.
3 I know that the Lord is almighty,
Supreme is dominion is He,
Performing His will and good pleasure
In heav'n and in earth and the sea.
4 His hand guides the clouds in their courses,
The lightning flames forth at His will,
The wind and the rain he releases
His sov'reign designs to fulfill.
5 To ransom His people from bondage
Great wonders and signs He displayed;
He smote all the firstborn of Egypt,
Till Pharaoh made haste and obeyed.
6 Great nations and kings that opposed Him
Were smitten by God's mighty hand;
Their riches He gave to His people,
And made them inherit the land.
7 Thy Name shall abide, O Jehovah,
Through all generations renowned;
The Lord is the judge of His people,
His mercies forever abound.
8 Men's idols of gold and of silver
Can speak not, nor hearken, nor see;
Like them shall their makers be helpless,
Unblest shall their worshipers be.
9 Ye people who worship Jehovah,
His praises with gladness proclaim;
His servants, and all ye that fear Him,
Sing praise to His glorious Name.
10 O Church of our God, sing His praises,
For with you and in you He dwells;
O sing Hallelujahs before Him,
Whose glory all praises excels.

Author: Mary Jackson CatheyHymnal: New Hymns of Hope #216Meter: IrregularTopics: Call to WorshipLyrics: We come to worship in praise of our Maker
with thanks for all blessings bestowed by God's grace.
The faith which is nurtured in each generation
now brings us together in this sacred place.
The words of Scripture have giv'n the message
which leads us to do what we say we believe,
lending strength for challenges waiting before us
we search for the light God would have us receive.
Give thanks for lessons our ancestors taught us
who modeled the virtues of courage and care,
who were loyally steadfast to country and loved ones,
who gave us the heart and the vision to share.
Let us live our days asking for God's guidance
that shows us the purpose which God has conceived,
finding strength for days of the journey before us
and mindful of blessings that we have received.
For love of life and their own priceless freedom,
for strong, sturdy souls who were willing to die,
for the triune God and beliefs that sustained them
when faced with hard choices to stand firm and try.
In the long tradition that framed and shaped them
with family and faith still directing their ways,
we now go forward to live, work, and worship,
to glorify God through the rest of our days.
Go out rejoicing for gifts of the Spirit,
as varied as kilts of our heritage signs.
The fire of kindred still burning within us
holds fast as the weaves in our family designs.
We abide with God who will not desert us,
whose care and protection and guidance is ours.
Follow faithfully in the path God has chosen
to live all our days as the Spirit empowers.Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4-7Languages: EnglishTune Title: CANDLER

The watery worlds are all His own,
And all the solid ground.
3. Come, worship at His throne;
Come, bow before the Lord;
We are His works, and not our own;
He formed us by His word.
4. To-day attend His voice,
Nor dare provoke His rod;
Come, as the people of His choice,
And own your gracious God.

our saving rock, the living Lord;
in glad thanksgiving seek his face
with songs of victory and grace.
2 In holiness and light arrayed
above all gods that we have made,
he is the one almighty King,
and his the glory that we sing.
3 The earth is his from east to west,
from ocean floor to mountain crest;
he made the sea and formed the lands,
he shaped the islands by his hands.
4 Come near to worship! Come with faith,
bow down to God who gives us breath:
God is our shepherd, God alone;
we are his people, all his own.
5 But if you hear his voice today
do not reject what he will say;
when Israel wandered from God's path
they suffered forty years of wrath.
6 That generation went astray;
they did not want to know his way:
they put their Saviour to the test,
and saw his power, but lost their rest.
